Polyhedron Fever: 5 Home Goods

Triangles have been hot for a while now, but it seems like there's a new geometric shape du jour — the polyhedron. These 5 home goods make the most of the futuristic 3D shape and show just why it's appearing everywhere.

Of course, it's best to use geometric shapes sparingly — go overboard and your home might end up looking like an '80s arcade game. Done in moderation, however, polyhedrons can modernize anything from a candlelit tablescape to a dark foyer in need of a pendant light.

Designer Oji Masanori and 114-year old Japanese foundry Futagami collaborated on these lovely brass paperweights. $78 a piece at Muhs Home.
